E. coli bacterium dividing
False-colour transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of the bacterium Escherichia coli, a normal inhabitant of the human intestine, in the act of dividing. Under certain conditions E. coli bacteria may become harmful & cause infection in the intestinal or urinogenital tracts. This specimen is in the early stages of binary fission, the process by which the bacterium divides in two. E. coli is the organism most commonly used in genetic engineering experiments.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate process of cell division in an E. coli bacterium. In this false-colour transmission electron micrograph (TEM), we witness a normal inhabitant of the human intestine, Escherichia coli, dividing itself. While typically harmless, these bacteria can turn harmful and cause infections in the intestinal or urinogenital tracts under certain conditions. The image captures the early stages of binary fission, which is how E. coli divides into two separate entities. This mesmerizing sight provides us with a glimpse into the complex world of microbiology and bacteriology. With a magnification of x14,000 at 35mm size and x28,000 at 6x7cm size, every detail is brought to life. Escherichia coli holds great significance in genetic engineering experiments due to its widespread use as an organism for research purposes. Its versatility has made it an invaluable tool for scientists exploring various aspects of genetics. Science Photo Library presents this remarkable photograph that not only highlights the beauty within microscopic organisms but also serves as a reminder of their potential impact on our health and well-being. Let this image transport you into the fascinating realm where science meets artistry - where even something as small as a bacterium can captivate our imagination and inspire further exploration into the mysteries of life itself.
